Load Balancing4
Motorola Public Document Classification, October 2011
Overview
• Load Balancing allows the WiNG5 network to distribute the network load in order to provide better service to existing and future clients (that may connect or roam soon)
• Supported strategies are– Loads per AP in a neighbourhood– Loads per channel per band in a
neighbourhood– Loads between bands (2.4/5) in a
neighbourhood• Load
– The number of users on an AP and the number of users on a particular frequency band/channel and throughput generated across the WLAN (ESSID) according to configured parameters.
– Configured per WLAN and per AP• Special UI to monitor the stats of load

Strategies
• Loads per AP in a neighbourhood:– Each AP monitors and attempts to equalize its total load with
those of the APs in its neighbourhood• Here on picture: 2 clients per AP

Strategies• Loads per channel per band in a neighbourhood:
– Each AP attempts to evenly distribute its load across the channels of each of the bands in its neighbourhood.
• Example– 2 Clients on Ch11 and 1 Client on Ch6– 3 Clients evenly distributed across Ch 36,44,48

Motorola Public Document Classification, October 2011
Strategies• Loads between bands in a neighbourhood:
– Each AP attempts to load the 2.4 GHz band and the 5 GHz band in a ratio that is configurable.
• Example– Clients Loads per Frequency Band 3:1– 6 Clients on 2.4 Ghz / 3 Clients on 5 Ghz
• (2:1 < 3:1)

SMART Band Control

SMART Band Control
• Smart Band Control – Detects dual radio clients – Distributes clients in each radio band based on a configurable ratio or percentage– Introduced in WiNG 5.1
2:1 Ratio

Dual Band Clients
![Page 12: Load Balancing 1 Motorola Public Document Classification, October 2011 MODULE 11 LOAD BALANCING LEVELLING THE LOAD ON WIRELESS](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062714/56649d215503460f949f62d4/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)

How dual band clients are handled
• An MU associates to an AP, which in turn learns the MU’s band capabilities– The AP then sends out a WNMP roam-notification to all other AP’s,
advertising the MU’s band capabilities– Other network AP’s update a special MU band-capability table for
subsequent roams– New AP can then influence MU’s selection of band if necessary

What if client won’t change bands?
• 2.4GHz is heavily loaded; a new client shows up– AP ignores probe requests, attempting to push client to 5GHz– Client persists probing at 2.4GHz
• AP may interpret this as client being temporarily unable to connect at 5GHz (perhaps due to radar avoidance).
– Once a pre-configured probe-request threshold is exceeded, AP allows client to connect at 2.4GHz
2.4GHz
